Hear what some of our 2024 artists had to say:
- "It’s always full of real art buyers, it’s my most consistent and always largest grossing art fair. It’s run so well and organized. There’s always a staff member nearby if you need something."
- "Thank you all for a smooth and fun experience where I was able to share my work with so many different people who care about hand made craft."
- “This year was the engagement of the buyers, repeat buyers, and so many young people getting their start by buying prints/smalls and promising to come back when they are making money so they can buy originals."
